From the beginning of the year, they are working admirable feats under the slogan "Let Us Accelerate the Victorious Advance of Socialism with the Great Spirit of Self-reliance and Self-development as the Dynamic Force!"

The youth shock brigade movement and other mass movements are vigorously conducted and innovation effected wherever the young people are.

Cherishing in mind that the strength of self-reliance and self-development is based on science and technology, young scientists and technicians across the country are taking the lead in solving sci-tech problems arising in updating industrial establishments and putting their production on a normal footing with the main emphasis on ensuring the domestic production of raw materials, fuel and equipment.

The working youths in leading economic sectors have turned out in a drive for increased production, over-fulfilling their first day's production assignments of the year.

Similar progress is made by young people engaged in light industry, agriculture and fishery.

The revolutionary zeal and working spirit of young Koreans can be also felt at major project construction sites, including Samjiyon County to be spruced up as a model county of the country.
